The ninth stage of the international championship FIA Formula E will be held in Moscow this Saturday, June 6th. Unlike the demonstration motor sport activities near the Kremlin, after a few days there will be a real racing competition in the tech race cars with electric motors. Preparations for the first ever race at the walls of the Kremlin will continue until the evening of 5 June.Racing Formula E is traditionally held in one day and will be available for viewing both on the stands and in the area of free access on Vasilevsky descent by pre-registration.

The full schedule for June 6 is available on the official website.The largest and most time consuming stage in the preparation of the event is to build a safe route. The route for the Moscow race Formula E was designed by Portuguese architect Rodrigo nez. The stage in Moscow was added to the calendar of the championship in January 2015 - and from that moment began active preparations for the race, which goes so far.In Moscow, in my opinion, turned out excellent layout - there are sections where you can accelerate, and there are complex plots - for example, U-shaped turn at the bridge. I think that the best view will be on the bridge. You can expect interesting events on turns 1, 2 and 11, where, most likely, the pilots will try to overtake," says Rodrigo nez.The pilot of the Trulli of Vitantonio Liuzzi acquainted with the route, shared his thoughts "I Have to say that the track seems pretty interesting and challenging, although there are some long straights and slow internal section is a good bunch of turns. There are also three or four sections of the highway where possible overtaking. Turn 1 and 3 seem to be most suitable for this area, and yet it should be noted narrow hairpin at turn 11. This step will definitely give you an impressive spectacle for the fans. Of course, the climate for the track not the most favorable, will surely be bumps, but the road is constructed in the heart of Moscow, and it's worth it."The total length of 2.3 km, and to make it safe in accordance with the requirements of the FIA had to make 1360 concrete blocks weighing 4 tons, more than 4.5 km of fencing metal mesh, brew 55 hatches on the roadway - and it's only 24 days - a period in which all of the necessary installation work. In total, in the preparation of the event is attended by over 2000 people.To ensure safety at the event this Saturday will be 1400 police officers and chop.
